Description

Discovery Hikes are challenging, off-trail hikes led by park rangers. They are a great way for the adventurous and well-prepared to explore the heart of Denali! These hikes travel everywhere, so expect uneven terrain, water crossings, close encounters with dense vegetation, and unpredictable weather. Rangers at the visitor center will provide details about upcoming hikes, including the approximate distance and elevation gain.
